This book was recommended on BookTok and it did NOT disappoint. Red-hot smut from almost the very beginning. The first review of Glitch on GoodReads starts with “I think my Kindle got pregnant”, so that should give you an idea of how spicy this series is.
Glitch is a love story between two computer nerds, Glitch and Ara. Glitch is the nickname given to him by his older sister because when he gets overwhelmed, he seems to “glitch out” and freeze up. Ara is short for Arabella. They have been part of the same online gaming group for a while, that was set up by a mutual friend, but they have never met in person. Glitch keeps a private chat open between the two of them, but they never talk about anything too personal. Glitch has a distinctive gravely voice, and it drives Ara completely wild. His voice must be good because he does some paid voiceover work. In his free time, he writes and records sexy fantasies focused on Ara. Basically, these two nerds have been pining over each other for months but both are too scared to make the first move. Been there, done that, been married to it for the last 8 years!
During one gaming session, Ara’s desktop computer dies, because her piece-of-shit ex-boyfriend kicked it in a furious rage over how much time she spent gaming with other men. Glitch and Ara’s mutual friend persuades Ara to take her computer to Glitch’s computer repair shop. They finally meet in person and their chemistry is electric. They are incredibly hot together, but also extremely cute. This is a couple that doesn’t break up for stupid reasons. This is a couple that knows how to communicate. There is so much “Touch her and you die” energy! I absolutely devoured this book, and it’s sequel, Flip. The third one just came out, so time to get to reading!
